Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant reaches a height of about 90 cm and is characterized by intensive branching. Young leaves are bronze-purple in color, while the centers of mature leaves are chocolate-brown with a characteristic silvery V-shaped pattern. Small white flowers are gathered in inflorescences, and the flowering period lasts from June to October.

The variety is fast-growing and low-maintenance, preferring locations from full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soils. USDA hardiness zones are 6–9, which corresponds to withstanding temperatures down to -18…-23°C. Due to its compact form, the plant is resistant to lodging.
